There’s Good News And There’s Bad News

Fans and Rappers alike rallied over the news that rapper Jamal “Shyne” Barrow, who changed his name to Moses M Leivy while incarcerated, would be released from Woodbourne Correctional Facility October 6^th but his future is unclear. The 30 year old has been released from Woodbourne but is now “being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an unspecified facility in Western New York State” MTV News reports. Officers are not determining whether they should deport the rapper who was born in Belize. Shyne, his fellow rappers, and friends will just have to sit tight and wait on the officer’s decision

Shyne was incarcerated following a shooting incident at a New York night club involving Diddy and then girlfriend Jenifer Lopez. He pleded guilty to 1^st degree Assult, 1^st degree Reckless Endangerment, 2^nd degree Assult, and 2^nd degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon and sentenced to 10 years, New York Department of Corrections said. At the time of his sentencing, an official with the Department of Correction confirmed to MTV News that Shyne would have to complete at least eight years and seven months of his prison sentence. This set his release date for October of this year. I just want to wish Shyne and his family good luck and God bless.
